I thought that Le Creuset couldn't go in the dishwasher because the top edge isn't finished--I thought the cast iron would rust.

Today someone told me it can. I googled and got Le Creuset's official page--as long as it has plastic rather than wooden handles, it CAN go in. Yay! I don't like washing big casseroles. :) (And the dishwasher boils everything and gets every bit of grease off.)

Only bad part is I've been doing them by hand for a month :-P

(the rest of my cookware is stainless steel, which I chose expressly because it CAN go in the dishwasher, unlike anodised aluminum. You only need to scrub if there's stuck-on food. I do have anodised bakeware though which has to be done by hand. Icky greasy roasting tins :( )

All fine, I need to go for a growth scan in 3 weeks as she couldn't do a good exam (not surprising, too much lard in the way).

(My mother's now going nuts because they didn't weigh me, she's convinced they did and I just won't tell her... grr)

Evil icky glucose tolerance test next week. Fun fun. (GTT = fast for 12 hours, then drink nasty tasting sweet stuff and have your blood checked periodically over a 2 hour period. I think she said they were doing the 2 hour one...)

BP back up to 145/90 but the consultant didn't seem concerned so I won't be, she just said it needs to be checked every time.

I managed to lose my Oyster card :/ Searched my whole bag, no sign of it (and I'd had it on the way to the hospital). Luckily there was only about £5 on it. I stopped at High Barnet station and got a new one (West Finchley ticket office is only open during morning rush hour).
